Description Not Available
Flagship species are the species, chosen to represent an environmental cause, such as an ecosystem in
need of conservation. Moreover, these species are chosen for their vulnerability, attractiveness or
distinctiveness in order to engender support and acknowledgement from the public at large. It can also be
used as an important biodiversity conservation tool in the conservation of a significant number of other
species across a wide array of taxonomic groups, and in functioning natural systems. An action plan for
building public support for flagship species is the need of the hour for conserving the biodiversity.
